The women were excited by the manifestation of Floria’s Blessing, but there was about one person among them who seemed to have difficulty talking about it.
It was Collete.
While the others were congratulating Floria, she was looking at Sylvia as if she were concerned about something.
Sylvia looked at Collete, as if she sensed her gaze.
Then, suddenly, she smiled and nodded.
“Oh. Did you see through that?”
“I could sense it before Floria arrived here.”
Collete said in an annoyed tone, to which Sylvia quickly responded.
Collete and Sylvia had known each other since before they met Kousuke.
Since they had been friends for a long time, they were able to read each other’s expressions.
In addition, since coming to the Administration Floor, Sylvia’s power as a priestess had steadily increased.
As a result of all of this, she could figure out what Collete wasn’t telling her.
“What is it? The two of them seem to be the only ones who understand each other’s feelings.”
Peach, who had been watching them, interrupted.
“No, I was going to tell everyone when they were all here, but Floria beat me to it.”
When Collete said this, everyone knew what she was going to say.
“That means, Collete, you too?”
“Yes, the power of the Blessing has manifested.”
Collete had been struggling beneath the World Tree, but once she reset her mind and simply searched for Kousuke’s power, she was able to manifest it successfully.
Collete’s power of Blessing was, as expected, the ability to see spirits.
“So, it was expected, huh?”
Collete nodded to Shrein, who came to confirm.
“I can see them. I didn’t think there was anything natural on the Administration Floor, but there were many spirits. Well, I don’t think I can see all of them.”
To add more to that notion, she was told that they were not always visible.
She would need to concentrate to see.
She thought that she would have to be trained to be able to see them all the time.
Like the other members, there was still a lot of room for development.
“Now all that’s left is Sylvia…”
Shrein said on behalf of the others, looking at Sylvia.
She looked somewhat apologetic, given the circumstances.
The surrounding members were in a similar situation.
Except for Sylvia and Floria, who were the ones involved.
“Since that’s the case, shouldn’t Sylvia say something too?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Sylvia nodded to Floria who urged her to do so.
“Actually, I have already manifested the power of the Blessing,” Sylvia said.
When Sylvia said this, everyone’s faces broke into tears.

Sylvia succeeded in manifesting the power of Blessing some time after completing the Divine Oracle with God Elisa Meir.
In terms of time, it was soon after Shrein’s evolution.
After completing the Divine Oracle with Elisa Meir, Sylvia once again reconsidered her position, but eventually, she thought about the power of the Blessing from the standpoint of Kousuke’s priestess.
In this way, she was able to clarify what the power of Blessing was that she should be aiming for.
Furthermore, Kousuke’s words when he came back to there helped her get rid of the impatience.
After that, Sylvia incorporated her training as a priestess, which she was accustomed to, so the work was easy to get used to.
As a result, she was able to manifest the power of the Blessing in little time.
“So? What was Sylvia’s power?”
Shrein cut in.
So far, everyone successfully manifested their powers in different ways.
The question was assuming that Sylvia also manifested a different kind of power.
To which Sylvia’s response was.
“In my case, unlike everyone else, it is not something unusual.”
“What do you mean?”
“Because I am Kousuke-sama’s priestess. I can see the status of things.”
In short, it was a weakened version of the power of Kousuke’s left eye.
It was said that the role of a priestess was to bring the deity itself or a part of the deity’s power into this world.
Naturally, one of the roles of the clergy was to receive oracles and convey the word of those oracles to the world.
In light of this, it was only natural that Sylvia, as a priestess, would inherit Kousuke’s power as a God.
“In my case now, I can only see the most that I could see were skills that I have witnessed.”
“I see.”
Everyone nodded in agreement with Sylvia’s explanation.
As for the power thing, Sylvia’s acquisition of this Blessing felt very natural to her.
She was undoubtedly “Kousuke’s Priestess”, she thought.
Everyone knew that Kousuke himself had not mastered the power of his left eye.
What Sylvia could see was even less than what Kousuke could see.
In addition, it was even less than the God Tool that Kousuke created.
Still, being able to see the status of others without tools would be a threat to those who want to hide it.
After all, all Blessing’s power would be a power that people would desire.

“Now that we’ve all activated the power of the Blessing… Will they come back?”
Shrein asked after confirming everyone’s power.
Everyone looked at each other as she mentioned this with a wry smile.
“Well… I doubt that they would not come back until everyone had evolved.”
“After all, they seem to be enjoying their adventuring activities.”
“I don’t think they will be back for a while~.”
The words that followed were a perfect guess as to Kousuke’s current state of mind.
It was not that he did not want to come back.
It was more that he wanted to do what he wanted to do while he was active as an adventurer.
But the girls on the Administration Floor didn’t know that.
“I think he knows that everyone can manifest the power of the Blessing, so I’m sure he will come back at least once soon.”
Everyone nodded in agreement to Sylvia’s words.
Except for about two people.
“So, why don’t you come out soon, Master?”
“I’m sure you can understand that somehow everyone is getting excited, and it’s getting harder to come out, right?”
Kouhi and Mitsuki, who had known from the beginning that Kousuke was returning, said this to Kousuke.
With those words, everyone’s eyes turned in that direction.
Kousuke was standing in that direction, with an expression of displeasure on his face.
In fact, he came back when he found out that all the members had been able to manifest the power of the Blessing.
He returned to the Administration Floor and tried to show up right away, but the ladies had started some sort of debriefing session, which made it difficult for him to show his face.
Kouhi and Mitsuki seemed to have noticed it right away, but they read the air and kept quiet until now.
“”Kousuke-san! Kousuke-sama!”, they shouted together.
“Oh, um… I’m home? And congratulations.”
When Kousuke, who looked somewhat embarrassed, said that, everyone’s expressions suddenly brightened up.
Everyone understood that, despite what they say, it was only because Kousuke was there that they could tell jokes.
Of course, Kousuke knew this as well, so he rarely said anything in particular.
Now that everyone had successfully invoked the power of Blessing, the biggest concern of the moment was gone.
To be precise, their objective would not be fulfilled until they evolve, but some of them would say that it did not have to be right now, as in the case of Collete.
It was up to the girls themselves to decide what they wanted to do, so there was no longer any need for Kousuke to stay away from the Administration Floor.
